Confirmed from Trailhead Greenway's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Trailhead Greenway
“Nice walking trails, easy to follow and perfect for a short hike.”
Trailhead Greenway is a wide paved path around a new neighborhood at the bottom of the mountain. A small spring is just off the path as you start. There are a couple of trails along the way where you can veer off and climb the mountain. We took the legacy loop to the top. Along the way are three wet weather waterfalls.
It's a nice paved walking path to get some steps in. It's nice and even so it's easy to take a stoller and not have a bouncy ride for your baby, or doggie in my case! It looks like there are some paths you can take off of the paved path, but I have not ventured there yet. There is a good amount of parking.
Legacy Loop off of Trailhead Greenway is perfect for Hiking and trail running. Plenty of parking available too. The greenway itself is perfect for a pleasant walk to enjoy some fresh air. Not dirty or overcrowded - highly recommend
Nice spot old spring house, well marked trail. Marvin likes the Legacy loop!
